Contextual searches may be performed to identify subsets of search results from an organized dataset. Contextual searching may return search results based on a relevance of the results to a query or search terms. Characters may be input by users at a search field that may be used to define context filters for limiting the search results of the organized dataset. Triggering events may be received that may trigger the definition of context filters that may be used to obtain the subsets of search results from the organized dataset. The triggering event may be a delimiter in the character string, for example. The subset of search results may include a subset of tradeable objects that may be traded at an electronic exchange. The subset of search results may continue to be limited based on additional context filters defined from the search input at the search field.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying, by the trading device, a selection of a tool to be generated to display market data from at least one electronic exchange, wherein the tool comprises an application or a display window for displaying the market data from the at least one electronic exchange; receiving, by the trading device, the market data from the at least one electronic exchange; and displaying, by the trading device, the market data from the at least one electronic exchange in the tool.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the tool resides at the trading device, and wherein the tool is a trading tool.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the context is associated with a context type, and wherein the method further comprises: identifying, by the trading device, the context type from a group consisting of at least one of electronic exchanges, financial product types, financial products, or tool types; and displaying, by the trading device, the context type to identify the context type associated with the context.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the subset of search results comprise at least one of a subset of financial products or a subset of contracts.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the search results are provided via a user interface in an organized list.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises: generating, by the trading device, an icon for the context filter in response to receiving the at least one delimiter; and displaying, by the trading device, the icon in the search field.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the search input comprises a plurality of characters, the method further comprising: receiving, by the trading device, each character of the plurality of characters as the search input at the search field; and upon receiving each character of the plurality of characters, displaying, by the trading device, a plurality of contexts in real-time for defining the context filter, wherein the plurality of contexts include the context that is identified in the context filter.
